Elderflowers - Delicate Floral Brewing Spice for Saison & Fruit Ales

Elderflowers are among the most elegant botanical additions available to the craft brewer — delivering a delicate, unmistakable floral and fruity aroma that elevates saisons, wheat ales, and experimental beers. This 100 g bag of dried elderflowers (Sambucus nigra) can be used in the boil, whirlpool, or as a dry-spice in secondary fermentation.

The elderflower's complex aromatic profile — fresh floral notes, honey-like sweetness, subtle muscat grape character, and a delicate herbal background — pairs exceptionally well with fruity Belgian yeasts, citrus hops, and botanicals like chamomile and lemon peel.
